Law Makes Order.

The Salvation Army had a good at
tendance at their meeting last mig hit,
and some interesting remarks were
made. Since the city officials have
been dealing strictly with those who
have made disturbances, there is that
respect shown to the Army people
any church organization deserves.
The city attorney and the recorder
have expressed themselves as being.
determined to punish according to
law any who attend these meetings
with purpose otherwise than to be-
have as they would in any other
church of the city. AS the city at
torney stated: eff you can't 60
there and be civil, stay away"

Some time ago Dan Fish was I'M
fortunate in getting used up in a run
away which placed him on the retired
list. Last Friday evening he ventur-
ed forth with one of VIM. Smiths
oldest teams, but had not been driv.

they must keep up his reputation and
when they finally rounded up, the
only thing left was pieces of the wag-

over the North side. The horses es.

the exception of the circus perform

at the start. 1t is expected that he
will attend strictly to cutting beef

PAVING FIFTH STREET.
The Cost as Estimated by City
Clerk Thompson.

There has been an idea prevalent
among a large number of the proper
ty holders on Fifth street that
the cost of paving the street
would amount to several thousand
dollars for each front lot. City clerk
Thomson has estimated the cost for
the work taken from the city engi-
neer's report of Omaha, Neb. The
estimate is based on lot of 40 feet
frontage with paving of cedar blocks
laid in the usual manner. The esti-
mate cost of curbing per lineal foot is
s3S. % and allowing 10 square yards
to the lot at $3.50 per yard places
the cost of paving the street at s165.
making the total cost per lot only
s2Oj.25. These figures are more cor
rect than those which have been
stated by a number of the citizens.
The city clerk has written several let
tiers to various cities for the purpose
of obtaining further information re-
garding the matter.

An Amusing Incident

Yesterday evening while all the
darkies in the city were preparing for
their grand barbecue, there approach
ed the railway crossing on Ohio street
an old colored couple in their enc
horse cart. The harness on the horse
were not securely fastened and just as
they drove onto the track a switch
engine came along. The horse be-
came frightened and made a start
when the harness gave way, the
shafts clipped" up, dumping the
couple onto the railway track. For
moment, or until they saw they were
not hurt, their cries were at the high
est pitch. The incident afforded a
hearty laugh for all about the depot.

Yesterday morning two divorce
suits were filed with the clerk of the
circuit court. One of them was filed
by Mary T. Hallowell against her
husband j. f. Hallowell on a charge
of failure to provide. She asserts in
her plea that she was a kind and af-
fectionate wife up to the time of their
separation.
The other is Laura E. Baker who
wished the ties of wedlock severed
from herself and husband, Mr.. Gard
ner L. Baker. She states in her COM
plant that they were married on JAN
uary ii, 1866 in Franklin county,
Maine and lived together until
September %, 1885, that while
they were together she was a true
and devoted wife and always treated
him with kindness and affection. She
states as her cause for action nom
support and prays the court to grant
her a divorce. Baker is fisherman
at what is termed "Marked Tree"
near Harrisburg, Ark, and no doubt
attributes the unpleasantness to
"fsherman's luck.

A Gas Float

ISOLATION, stated last night to BAzoo

Tired of Kansas.

A prominent real estate agent of
this city has received letter from a
Kansas party, in which he desires to
learn if there are any farmers or land
holders in this county wishing to trade
Missouri land for that of Kansas. He
states that there are a number of
farmers in bis locality anxious to emf
CRATE from Kansas to Missouri. This
evidently shows to the average indi-
vidual that those who have settled in
the prohibition state are becoming
anxious to emigrate to more congeni-
al cline.
